Bishop Finn: What really happened in Kansas City if the IRB was not told of the abuse case?
By MARY SANCHEZ

resigning as chairman of the Kansas City-St. Joseph Diocese’s Independent Review Board, which is charged with handling allegations of sexual abuse.
Caccamo held the post when it was discovered that the church hierarchy had been a barrier to the board’s delicate work. The board was never given the specifics of the allegations against the Rev. Shawn Ratigan. Board members were not told many things they needed to know, details that are entwined in the allegations against Ratigan and Bishop Robert Finn, who is accused of failing to report suspected abuse.
Caccamo was outraged when he heard some of those details. No one, not even the bishop, escaped his assessments of their actions, or inaction.
And yet, he was always appropriate, always professional, always a gentleman.
